The team captain, Maddie, had a hip injury, so we decided I would room with Maddie to make sure she got the necessary treatments. For her last treatme...t before bedtime, Maddie changed into a snug football jersey that reached mid-thigh.“Ready?” I asked.“Yes Mrs. P, I’m all yours,” Maddie said.“Please, Maddie, you can call me Laura,” I said. Maddie smiled. “OK, nurse Laura, I’m ready.” Holding a heat pack, I sat on the bed and began to push Maddie’s jersey up to her hip, until Maddie lifted her. ‘Darling, it wouldn’t look good if you showed up at this dance with someone who wasn’t your fiancée.’ ‘Well, that’s the great part about it, Jean. Most of us are blind so we won’t be ‘looking’ any way.’ She stood, her anger quickly building. She didn’t like to be manipulated and didn’t think that he had been doing that … had he? Suddenly, her mind was spinning with questions and she stood quickly, wanting some space. ‘I’ll see you tomorrow.’ ‘You’re leaving already?’ She left him and decided. Then we got out of the tub, wrapped up in giant terry robes, and retired to the large cushy bed. I turned on some gentle music. ‘Love is all you need,’ the singer crooned. ‘Love is all you need . . .’ ‘Do you want something to drink?’ I asked Barry. ‘I just want to drink you in, my love,’ he smiled. ‘You know I’ve loved you since the day I met you,’ I declared. ‘And I you,’ he returned. We kissed again, and hugged, coming back time and again to gaze into each other’s eyes. His eyes were two. Ich hab das ja damals noch nicht gewusst, aber auch später haben mir es die Großen und Kräftigen immer angetan. Mit so schmalbrüstigen Männern konnte ich nie was anfangen. Das war die Bärbel, der das gefallen hat, wenn sie die Männer unter sich zudecken konnte.Paul: Der Onkel Hubert war ja auch ein Bär und rothaarig.Gerti: Genau, nur war der Adam noch etwas größer und kräftiger.Ein komisches Bild haben wir zwei da schon abgegeben, als wir uns wieder einmal, diesmal zu viert, bei der Scheune.
